EchoHUD brings modern, FPS-style spatial audio visualization to Minecraft. Instead of relying on the vanilla subtitles buried in the corner of your screen, this mod adds a sleek, customizable ring around your crosshair that points exactly to where sounds are coming from.
Features
Directional Indicators: Visual pings show the exact direction of sounds relative to where you are looking. Overlapping sounds from the same source are grouped together to prevent screen clutter.
Categorized Filters: Sounds are split into categories like Hostile, Passive, Players, Blocks, Weather, and Explosions. You can toggle each category individually and assign custom colors, so you immediately know if that footstep is a zombie or another player.
Deep Customization: Open the settings via Mod Menu to tweak everything. Change the indicator shapes, adjust the ring radius, edit the glow intensity, add pulse animations, or change the maximum detection distance.
